"Several times” is a poor threshold for a wide-ranging process update.

Then you needed to wait until you were out of office, IMHO. 

Above, you point out that this is being written because of your context as IESG members. You can’t (IMO) believably claim that and then claim this is individual at the same time.

Let me be a little more specific in the range of “a few” to “all”. How about enough to warrant this sort of change?

1) how many times did this come up vs other contentious issues at the IESG level?
	the IESG is inherently contentious - being across many areas of expertise and often seeing issues late in the development process when they’re outside their area

2) is there any metric of success here?
	the IESG is never going to “not” need to debate issues such as this; that is their role
